Andrews and Garner have worked together before, in The Americanization of Emily and Victor/Victoria, and it shows in the chemistry generated by their sympathetic, believable performances. The subplot concerning Robert's adult daughters is fairly extraneous (and predictable) but doesn't distract from the tender relationship at the heart of this made-for-TV movie. The two initially wary strangers soon find they have more in common than either could have anticipated. Due to an accident of fate (a winter storm), they end up spending Thanksgiving together in an abandoned cabin, away from their family and friends. Catherine (Julie Andrews) is a widowed pediatric physician (with no children of her own) and Robert (James Garner) is a contractor with a wife suffering from Alzheimer's disease. If the title It Happened One Night hadn't already been taken for Frank Capra's romantic comedy classic, it would've worked just as well for this holiday charmer. The logo is faded, but can still be seen on 3 of the 4 parts. Two of the tenon corks are new, and pads and springs have been replaced as needed. The cornet could not have been developed without the improvement of piston valves by Silesian oboe player Friedrich Blühmel and Heinrich Stölzel in the early 19th century. Free-blowing, with a great open sound, this used Selmer Signet Special clarinet is a moderate-priced intermediate level instrument. Reunited for the first time since "Victor/Victoria," Academy Award winner Julie Andrews and Emmy Award winner James Garner portray two strangers who take refuge in a small cabin during a stormy winter night and, despite their differences, or because of them, they are undeniably drawn to one another in this holiday classic that demonstrates once again the charisma that has made them two of the world's most beloved stars. The cornet is a brass instrument similar to the trumpet but distinguished by its conical bore, more compact shape, and mellower tone quality.
